“Really good value and good find!”

Nice surprise for a hotel that did not have many reviews. The staff were great.

We stayed in Dambulla, even though our main interest was in Sigirya. Nonetheless, it was a great decision. Arika villas was a good choice. The room was very large and psacious, with coffee/tea maker. The bathrooom was also a nice size, and the staff was very friendly. Seeing the lobby/reception area which is not very impressive, the rooms were a great surprise. Breakfast was included and was served in your room, or in the restaurant. Good choice of fruit, eggs, fresh juice.
We were happy with the hotel because we had a car and driver at our disposal from COolombo, otherwise, it can get quite isolated.
We had one night when the hot water was not functioning properly, but I think it's because we came back a bit late. They did try to fix it, so that was appreciated. Overall, a good stay, and good value for money.

“Best value for money hotel ive stayed at”

Value for money, beautiful location, peaceful surroundings

Arika villas was an absolute pleasant surprise. Absolutely everything was great there, the staff very attentive, the rooms very large, good food, great pool, wonderful surroundings with easy access to all attractions close by. A hotel with only about 8 rooms, away from the main road and far away from anything that can distract your peace and quiet. To think at the time we spent 80 dollars per night on a room, absolutely worth it!

“Most underrated place ive been too recently”

Peaceful location, big rooms, friendly staff

We were a group of 5 staying at Arika, and in this cozy hotel of 8 rooms we found just what we were looking for. We were almost amongst ourselves, and had a wonderful relaxing time. The staff are incredibly friendly, the rooms are clean and spacious, the pool is absolutely great and refreshing. If I ever go to Dambulla/Sigiriya again, I surely will stay at Arika. We paid 80 dollars for a double room, which is an amazing deal for this peach of a place.

“Really good value and design conscious hotel”

Pool, huge rooms, yummy breakfast

Arika villas is relatively new and felt like a real find. The real pleasure is to be found in the staff, who were kind and attentive all the time. The room was fantastic, huge and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was also great, with a shower partly open to the outside elements. Wifi in the rooms did not work so well, but this was not a huge problem as it was really pleasant to sit in the reception area. The location is a bit remote for someone who wants to be in the heart of the action. But I found it utterly wonderful!

“Nice and elegant designed in lovely nature”

Nature, pool, design

A new hotel, very nice design and rooms. Nice pool and overlooking the small river.
Lovely place to stay before and after the buddha caves and the cliff at Sigiriya.
Love the fact that we in the morning could open the doors to the garden and see monkeys play in the trees.

“Not quite there yet...”

Pool, showers, room size

Arika Villas is trying to be a 5 star resort but unfortunately doesn't quite cut it. The advertised wifi didn't work, there was sometimes a lack of basic items like drinks, and food was a bit expensive. However, the rooms were lovely, especially the outdoor showers, and the staff were very helpful. The location is a little isolated so it is impractical to walk anywhere - you need a car or tuk tuk. Perhaps it is better in the high season!
